We Want to Hear From You!

Everything you see around you in the Village of Port Alice is strongly influenced by two Plans….the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw.
The Village of Port Alice is updating these Plans to enable a dynamic future for Port Alice and which will influence all aspects of local life in the Village, from parks and playgrounds to housing and water and sewer! 
As the Village plans for the future it's important to understand how everything in the Village is connected. The OCP is a series of policies and objectives that guide future decision-making of the Village and has legal status as the highest level plan in the Village.   
Todays best practices in community planning focus on creating "complete communities" so that residents of all ages and stages have access to all their needs within their community. How this is done is based on local values and priorities which is why we are asking you to share your ideas and vision for Port Alice in this survey!
This survey is open to and seeks input from all residents of all ages, business owners, community groups, and associations. 
Submitted responses will remain private. Only aggregated results will be presented.

We thank you in advance for your time devoted to helping the Village of Port Alice in achieving its ambitious, new pathway forward for the community. 
Thank you in advance for spending a bit of time to complete the survey. Any member of your household is encouraged to complete the survey.
